SUMMARY – Trek Medics International is seeking a highly productive and reliable Product Manager who can join our management team and contribute in the following ways:

Work with our users and development team to improve and expand Beacon’s list of features and functionality

Work with our business development team to increase Beacon’s active users

BACKGROUND – Trek Medics is an early-stage, health tech, non-profit organization (501c3-registered) that builds and improves emergency medical systems in communities with unreliable access to emergency care and transport through innovative mobile phone technologies. Working with local communities, Trek Medics leverages available resources to strengthen existing emergency response networks, including both formal and informal emergency responders, vis-à-vis Beacon, a text message-based emergency dispatching platform – “9-1-1 where there is none”.

We currently have active programs in Tanzania, the Dominican Republic and Chile providing 24-7 hour coverage to nearly 700,000 people. The platform and programs have been funded through individual donors, foundations and corporate grants, including from Google.org, Twilio.org, USAID, and Cisco, among others.

Over the next 6-12 months we will be adding significant new functionality to our software while also pushing for a rapid expansion of the platform’s user base, creating a genuinely unique opportunity to pioneer the implementation and scaling of first-in-kind emergency medical systems, funded in part through support from international development agencies and reputable technology companies.
